    More often than not, individuals prefer to conceal the truth rather than divulge it in order to prevent hurt, anger, or mistrust. It’s like a preservation tactic used to appear innocent and prevent others from initial hurt; lying proves to be an ineffective scheme since the truth always comes out and people often feel even more hurt when the truth has been kept from them. The human race incessantly tries to keep damage to a minimum even though such controlling methods are often futile. John Berger, in his piece “Hiroshima,” claims that the pain and morbidity of war-particularly of America’s bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II-should be remembered and that the most explicit forms of art that were made by those who suffered…

While the physical effects of chlorine gas were only deadly in cases of significant inhalation, its psychological consequences were both long-term and extreme. The unknown elements of chemical warfare caused widespread mania or “gas fright” and set soldiers into a panic at any unordinary sound or scent. Hossack describes the distance reduced effects as a “nauseating smell that tickled the throat and made our eyes smart”. Significantly nearer to the front lines, Methodist Reverend, O.S.
